The bridge support collapsed after the earthquake, but it was just the outer concrete

The recent earthquake has left a significant mark on the infrastructure of the affected area, with one of the most notable incidents being the collapse of a bridge support.

While the initial images of the scene were alarming, it became evident that the collapse involved primarily the outer concrete layer, sparing the structural integrity to some extent. This fortunate outcome prevented a more catastrophic scenario.

Emergency responders were quick to the scene, assessing the damage and ensuring that no vehicles were trapped underneath the debris. The bridge, a vital link for the community, had seen a decrease in traffic due to warnings issued prior to the earthquake.

This preventive measure undoubtedly lessened the potential for casualties or injuries. Read more below
